Prayer Is a Conversation



And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. —Matthew 21:22 

 Prayer is a two-way conversation; it is our talking to God, and His talking to us. As a Christian, you have a heavenly Father who hears and answers prayer. Jesus said, “All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Every man or woman whose life has counted for the church and the Kingdom of God has been a person of prayer. You cannot afford to be too busy to pray. A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. Jesus Christ spent many hours in prayer. Sometimes He spent the night on a mountaintop in solitary communion with God the Father. If He felt that He had to pray, how much more do we need to pray! - Billy Graham 

 Wondering how to pray? Or why God isn’t answering? Read Prayer 101.

When God's Grace Reaches Them | The Surprising Ending of Jonah | Ascend with Pastor Steve

Image
What happens when God shows mercy to someone you don't think deserves it?  Jonah chapter 4 presents one of the most challenging endings in Scripture. After Nineveh repents and receives God's mercy, Jonah becomes angry—not because God failed, but because God forgave. This message highlights the dangers of resentment, the struggle to extend grace to those who have hurt us, and how God desires to transform our hearts just as much as He transforms others.

Rediscovering the Heart of Los Angeles: A Call to Reimagine a City Worth Saving

Image
Written by Ken Hulsey Yesterday, while driving home from work, Randy Newman's 1983 hit "I Love L.A." came up on my Spotify playlist. As I listened to the lyrics, I was hit by an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. It's amazing how music can transport us back to the time when we first heard a song. These moments become part of our collective memory and carry a sentimental significance that evokes cherished feelings and memories.

Blazing Saddles | Mel Brooks' Iconic 1974 Comedy Western | Retro Cinema Classics

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey In this hilarious Mel Brooks spoof of Westerns, crafty railroad worker Bart (Cleavon Little) becomes the first black sheriff of the frontier town of Rock Ridge, which is about to be destroyed to make way for a new railroad. Initially, the townspeople harbor racial biases against their unconventional new leader. However, they warm to Bart and his perpetually drunk gunfighter friend (Gene Wilder) after realizing they are the only defense against a wave of thugs sent to rid the town of its population. This ribald and irreverent classic pokes fun at the Western genre and its tropes, sparing no one and nothing.

Charlie Kirk Talks About The Future Of America

Image
 I spent a good portion of Wednesday listening to Charlie Kirk's four part sermon/lecture at Legacy Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In each episode Kirk talked in depth about his relationship with Jesus and how the modern church needs to shake off the 'separation of church and state' moniker and get involved in our political system.  Kirk used a wonderful combination of science, history and scripture to make the point that the church needs to stop being quiet if this nation is to change it's present political and social course.   Granted, since Kirk's presentation took place in New Mexico, he did spend some time focusing on politics in the state. In case you are unaware of the current stat of things in The Land of Enchantment it has been under some of the strictest lockdown restrictions in the country since the beginning of the pandemic and the states economy has greatly suffered. There has also been a massive increase in drug and alcohol addiction, depression an...

 Photos and Story By: Ken Hulsey Back in 2020, during our whirlwind trip to Los Angeles and Hollywood, we packed up the family into a rental SUV and traversed the winding roads out of Griffith Park to the historical Griffith Observatory. When Terri and I lived in California, we often traveled up to the observatory to soak in the history and enjoy the amazing vantage point where you have an unprecedented view of downtown Los Angeles as well as the famous Hollywood sign.

Why Del Taco Should Be Your Next Fast Food Fix: A Nostalgic Dive into Tacos and More!

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey Have you ever felt like the universe is trying to send you a message? For me, it’s been all about Del Taco over the past three days. It all started when my wife was reminiscing about Taco Tuesdays, where you could snag three tasty tacos for just $1.49 (I still remember when it was only 99 cents!). Then, yesterday, I was listening to a radio station from Albuquerque, KDRF 103.3 eD FM, and I heard a commercial bragging about how Del Taco now has twenty items for under $2. Crazy, right?
